PGA Championship 2017: 11 venues that could now host a major in May

One of the effects of the PGA Championship moving to May is the possibility that some of the country’s best golf courses potentially playing host to a future PGA. Though August presented struggles for clubs that previously held majors (Southern Hills, future site of the PGA some time before 2030) or California courses, where the PGA hasn’t been since Riviera C.C. in 1995, the new date now brings some intriguing potential for other major-caliber courses. The PGA has been played in May four times in the past, with venues ranging across the country: 1937 (Pittsburgh Field Club); 1942 (Seaview outside Atlantic City), 1948 (Norwood Hills in St. Louis) and 1949 (Hermitage C.C. in Richmond, Va.), but it has been held outside of August only twice since 1965.

Solheim Cup Captain Juli Inkster was traveling back to the States at the time of Korda's post and was unavailable for comment and the LPGA had not made an announcement on a replacement.
No announcement has been made by either the LPGA or Inkster on who Korda&#03..
